Looking for misted unit replacement in Colchester? S&K Glazing has been installing across Essex for over a decade. Misted or 'blown' double glazing happens when the seal between the two panes fails, letting moisture into the sealed unit cavity. The trapped moisture condenses and looks like permanent fogging.
Misted or 'blown' double glazing happens when the seal between the two panes fails, letting moisture into the sealed unit cavity. The trapped moisture condenses and looks like permanent fogging. The good news: in most cases you don't need to replace the whole window — just the failed sealed unit inside the existing frame. S&K Glazing replaces misted units across the UK, typically same week, often with no scaffolding required.
Colchester — Britain's oldest recorded town — combines Roman heritage, Tudor and Georgian conservation, and a modern garrison-driven housing market. Our work spans listed-building sash windows in the Dutch Quarter through to volume re-glazing on the new-build estates across CO1-CO7.
For window-replacement work in Colchester, the property mix across East ranges from period stock through to modern new-build, so we specify the thermal solution per property — A++ rated double-glazed sealed units for standard upgrades (U-value 1.4 W/m²K), A-rated solar-control glazing for south-facing elevations, and triple-glazed argon-filled builds achieving 0.8 W/m²K for owners targeting near-Passivhaus performance. Most commonly we're working across CO1 and CO7 postcodes.
We visit, measure the failed unit, identify the glass thickness and any obscure pattern, and quote a fixed price.
Standard clear units: 3-5 working days. Obscure or patterned glass: 5-10 days.
Most misted units are swapped in 20-30 minutes per window. A full house of 8-10 windows is typically completed in a single morning.
